[PATCH] Kprobes: Use RCU for (un)register synchronization - base changes

Browse source 
Changes to the base kprobes infrastructure to use RCU for synchronization
during kprobe registration and unregistration.  These changes coupled with the
arch kprobe changes (next in series):

a. serialize registration and unregistration of kprobes.
b. enable lockless execution of handlers. Handlers can now run in parallel.
